Jane Eliasof has let us know that the Montclair Historical Society is having a home school day at the Israel Crane House this Friday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Homeschoolers can participate in a variety of experiences designed to appeal to visual, auditory, and tactile learners using a variety of media and senses. They’ll be creating a human time line, taking a tour of the 1796 Israel Crane House, churning butter by the open hearth, playing historic games, writing with a quill pen and ink, meeting the shopkeeper, and visiting a 19th century classroom.
The cost is $5 per child and $8 per adult. Reserve your spot by calling 973-744-1796 or send a note to [email protected]. The Israel Crane House is located at 108 Orange Road, south of Bloomfield Avenue.
